Best and Worst Day Ever! - 13 April 2015

Family!

I love you so much! So this week was a little different. I went to a few different areas to work because my companion is the STL and so I worked with other sisters while she did some other things. It was interesting. I learned so many things about how much I love my companion and the things we do together and the work we accomplish. 
I technically had my first two baptisms last night. One girl in my ward, Marianna. She is amazing. She is 14 and is the only member of her family. She was so prepared by the Lord. 
And another little girl that was in another ward, but I helped teach her on Wednesday and Thursday. It was a very special day and a great way to end my time in Tambaú. That is the bad news. I am leaving this area. I was/am heartbroken. I love this area and the members here and I love the people we are teaching. I just feel like I am leaving my work unfinished. I am leaving with my companion to Ipês. She is so very excited to leave. I just need to try and put Tambaú in a special place in my heart and move to the next area and love them just as much. I asked President if I could return here sometime during my mission in my email to him.  We shall see what he says! 
This week I feel like was a constant battle between the natural man and my spirit. It is amazing to me that every day I have to make the choice of the attitude I want to have, the thoughts I want to think, and the work I want to do. I hope that as I am constantly making the effort to overcome this natural man, that it will get easier. I am learning so much about myself. Mostly how much I need to improve.
I have pictures, but again they are not loading. 
I love you all so much! Thank you for the emails!

Almost Forgot - 16 May 2016

Wow I almost logged off without sending anything. Sorry! This week has been good. A little frustrating. I feel like I relate really well to the stories Daniel tells about running to church late with no investigators. There isn´t anything more frustrating. But I know that the lord is testing everything that i have learning the the past few months to see if i can apply everything that i have learned. and it is hard, but i know it will all be worth it.  i love you all hugs!! sister jacobson

Sick Days - 30 May 2016

Well apparently I can´t leave Brasil without a few more sick days. hahaha So this week was great and rough.  I started to feel really sick Tuesday night but nope we have to keep working. Of course it started raining so my cold got a little worse. But Wednesday I was pratically sleeping during all the lessons and just not feeling well. Thursday morning we had surprise interviews with Presidente and he just said, ´´is there anything i can do for you other then send you to the hospital?´´ So he sent me to the hospital. The hospital is always a great experience because i really don´t understand medical terms in English so in Portuguese its just funny. But my companion helped me alot. I ended up getting an MRI to look at my sinuses and my lungs and the conclusion of the story is that i had a really bad sinus infection.  I was given a bunch of medicine and set to bed rest. Two days in the house feel like an eternity. I was dying to leave so Saturday and Sunday everything was b...
